Maybe someone in this forum has some wisdom to share on the matter?
Simply put, I wonder if I can, safely, connect and use a 4 ohm cab with a 8 ohm amp? It's a combo but the the internal speaker is muted when you connect an external.
After doing some research on the subject, I decided that this is one of the few guitar-related things you are not supposed to try out on a trial-and-error basis.
I have literally heard people say that one can die if you connect the wrong cab to the wrong top. So I went to a music store and asked them, just to be sure. He told me that yes, if you connect a cab with more ohm than the top you are risking your life. Then he added, after a moment of thought: It might be the other way around though, less ohm than the top, I'm honestly not sure. Well. That didn't feel to ensuring! :doh:
So I figured I could ask you guys instead :icon_thumright:
